What this bill would do

This bill is called the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act. It withdraws the approved application for the drug mifepristone for the purpose of terminating an intrauterine pregnancy within 14 days of the bill's enactment. It makes introducing the withdrawn drug into interstate commerce a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The bill also considers the drug misbranded if its labeling states it can be used to terminate an intrauterine pregnancy. Additionally, it establishes a Federal tort allowing women to sue drug manufacturers for bodily injury or mental health harm caused by chemical abortion drugs. Finally, the bill states it does not affect certain existing federal laws related to mailing obscene or crime-inciting matter.
